The Consultation on Common Texts (CCT) held their annual meeting in April. The ELCA is a member of the CCT, the ecumenical body that shepherds the Revised Common Lectionary. At the meeting they adopted provisional lectionary readings for “Creation in Christ” (or “Feast of Creation”), a new ecumenical festival in September. Click the link in the first comment for additional information about the meeting. Look for ELCA resources for “Creation in Christ” in the coming weeks.
